Fractional Distillation: Fractional distillation uses a complex apparatus with a fractionating column. Simple Distillation: A simple apparatus with a flask to contain the mixture, a condenser and a flask to collect purified components is used. Fractional Distillation: The process has to be repeated several times to get the pure components. Simple Distillation: This is a one run process.
Fractional Distillation: This cannot be used to separate a solvent from a solute. Simple Distillation: This can be used to separate a solvent from a solute. Fractional Distillation: This is used in crude oil refining. Simple Distillation: This is used to purify sea water.
As explained above, the main difference between fractional and simple distillation is that fractional distillation is used for complex liquid mixtures with closer boiling point. The apparatus and process used for fractional distillation is also complex, unlike simple distillation.
Reference: 1. Wellesley College, n. An example is a solution of water and ethanol. Ethanol and water have highly similar boiling points.
This contaminates the ethanol vapour. To purify the vapour, we need a fractionating column to preferentially condense the water vapour and return it to the round-bottom flask.
Only ethanol vapour remains and drifts into the condenser, where it cools and condenses to form the pure ethanol distillate. Simple distillation separates a liquid from a solid-liquid solution while fractional distillation separates a liquid from a solution of two miscible liquids. The fractionating column is so long that heat does not distribute evenly.
It is hotter below and colder on top. At any point along the column, a vapour condenses if the temperature there is below its boiling point. As the temperature of the liquid increases, the average molecular kinetic energy also increases; more molecules evaporate, leading to higher vapor pressure. Boiling occurs when molecules can evaporate freely because the liquid has reached a temperature at which the vapor pressure equals the atmospheric pressure.
Different compounds have different boiling temperatures. Similarly, at any given temperature, different compounds will have different vapor pressures. If a liquid mixture of different compounds is heated in an enclosed container, the composition of the vapor trapped above the liquid will reflect these differences. The vapor will contain more molecules of compounds with higher vapor pressure and fewer molecules of compounds with lower vapor pressure.
A compound with a very high boiling temperature relative to the other compounds in the mixture will be nearly absent from the vapor, and non-volatile dissolved solids, such as salt, will remain as sediment in the heated container. Simple distillation is the process of collecting this vapor and cooling it so that it condenses back into a liquid. Simple distillation separates the components of a liquid mixture because the condensed liquid contains a higher proportion of compounds with higher vapor pressure and the original liquid contains a higher proportion of compounds with lower vapor pressure.
One simple distillation changes the proportion of compounds in the two final liquids, but it does not achieve complete separation. The process can be repeated to achieve progressively higher degrees of separation, but this is also wasteful because during each distillation procedure, some molecules escape into the atmosphere and some remain as residue in the distilling equipment.
On the other hand, simple distillation is used to separate substances in a mixture that has fifty degrees difference in their boiling nature. Federal distillation is the process of separating chemical compounds from each other when the boiling temperature difference is less than forty degrees. This process completes several simple distillations in one apparatus. It is mainly packed in a metal wire, glass beads, or metal ribbon, which give an extra condensing surface to the distillation process.
This process makes sure that the condensation teaches to its final condenser as soon as possible. One example of fractional distillation is the crude oil that is split up in various components. Fractional distillation used a fractionating column because the liquid mixture in the method has a kind of the similar boiling point. The fractionating column acts as a hurdle to the raising gas.
It will stop not such a pure condensation from passing through it. The gas creates in the packing material in the fractionating column and will be again warmed up by the hot gas that will evaporate again unless it becomes pure. Simple distillation is the method of splitting up two-component which have a different boiling point.
